Testing email messaging on local machine

I'm using Win 7 to test locally and unfortunately neither IIS or Casini have a mail server included as far as I can tell. I normally just set my web config to use a drop directory when I'm testing locally.

I'm creating a module that uses the Orchard.Email module to send emails and I'm finding it hard to test. Is there any way I can set it to use a drop directory?

I've got a mailserver set up on my server that has Win Server 2008 installed. It does use IIS 6 for the management. I can't find a way of installing this on Win 7 for some reason. I'll ask in an IIS forum about this.

I tried using GMail, but it just kept timing out. It might have been a network issue or my google account might not be configured to allow smtp connections, but I got tired of trying to figure it out. It may also have have been because the first emails I
sent were all blank and Google might have thought they were spam.
